TAMPA, Fla. (CBSNewYork/AP) — Yankees first baseman Mark Teixeira expects to play in his first game since hurting his right wrist in early March, suiting up for a minor-league game with the Double-A Trenton Trenton on Wednesday.

Teixeira injured his wrist while preparing with the U.S. team for the World Baseball Classic. He has been working out at the Yankees’ minor-league complex.

“If everything goes as planned, I’ll leave here Tuesday and play in Trenton Wednesday and Thursday,” Teixeira said Friday. “That’s the plan right now.”
